3. CONNECTION AND SETUP
Before the DVR is powered on, make sure you have installed a hard disk and connected at least one camera.
For details, please refer to the following sections.
Note: The DVR is designed to automatically detect the video system of the connected cameras (NTSC
or PAL). To make sure the system detection is correct, please check if the cameras are
connected to the DVR and power-supplied before the DVR is powered on.
3.1 SATA HDD Installation
A SATA hard disk must be installed before the DVR is powered on.
Note: It’s recommended to clear all data in the hard disk when the DVR is powered on and the date &
time are set correctly to ensure the recorded data are not mixed with other data previously saved
in the same hard disk. For details, please refer to “3.6 Clear Hard Disk” at page 10.
For 16CH & 8CH Models

Step2:There are two hard disk brackets for this DVR as indicated on
the right picture.
2-1 To install on the first bracket
Remove the bracket, and align the screw holes of the bracket
with the hard disk’s screw holes. Make sure the PCB side of
the hard disk is facing up.

screw holes. Make sure the PCB side of the hard disk is
facing up. Then, fasten the hard disk to the bracket.
